I know some of you Northern people will laugh your butts off when you see the pic of our snow, but we were excited about it. :) Everyone has been pretty much stranded due to not only the snow, but the nice ice that fell early on in the day before the snow hit.

(our front yard)

Days like this makes me miss Colorado, so for today's post, I am gonna share a few pics, and then get the house ready for the girls. :) To everyone in Arkansas, hope you have a fun day in the ice and snow, to everyone else..... have a blessed day!

After a full week of insainly nice weather here in the Natural State, January came back in full force today. Woke up this morning to 38 degree temps with a wind chill of 29! Thank you Jesus I don't have to work out in that, but my sweet hubby does and I feel bad every time he leaves for work :( Onward.... it was one of those days that "should" have been cloudy and nasty to match the cold, but of course it was bright and sunshiney. So in honor of the weather we "should" have had ..... some lovely pics and links, check them out....

After a full evening of searching the internet, texting Krystle and pushing a cat off my desk.......I have a new banner and background!!!!! WooHoo!

In the midst of all the blogger fun, I took a blood type test to see what my blood type was, because I am going to start reading this book!!!!!

There are already some VERY interesting tidbits of info and I am only on the intro :) We shall seeeeee. OH and Jess and I are going to start walking the track near her house 3 times a week, I'm pretty excited about that........

My cute hubby and I are headed down to Texarkana today to do some shopping at Ross..... yay! I'm expecting great deals to come my way.....

That's about all for now, just wanted to stop in a blog a bit, will try to do better tomorrow night!

So we have hit 2010! 2009 was not a horrible year for our little family, but we did have some heartache. In October one of the youth in our youth group was killed while riding his 4-wheeler with his friends. It hit us and the church pretty hard, but we know he is in heaven having a blast, but we do miss him a bunch.

Hello Ladies was birthed at the end of 08, but was techincally started in March of 09. It's been such a wild ride and I only expect it to get better and better!

I've started the new year with a few projects! i started a the picnic blanket I saw on Rachel's blog, I have the top all finished and I am going to embroider a few cute little things before I actually "quilt" it, but it is going by really quick! AND i have already started 3 baby quilts for the Etsy store, they are cut out and ready to be put together -- here are a few pics ....

Super cute ... right??? I HAVE to find some "boy" material, so I can break out of the pinks and yellows! But I am really excited about these projects. And again... I have pics of those little 'critters' I made, but they didn't make it home with me. I will be sure and post them tomorrow.....I promise!

Ummm, that's all for this post, I guess..... here are a few inspiration pics for your viewing pleasure.... Have a great day, we are expecting snow on Wednesday night!! YIPPEEE!
